Two garbage and one problem

October 23, 2012 Viktor Shenderovich

Mr. Golubev, who was believing in Christ, decided to answer me , an atheist.

For some reason, he did it on behalf of all Christians.

I became interested in this phenomenon and phoned a certain number of my good Orthodox friends, asking: what kind of garbage is this? And friends confirmed twice: garbage.

The first garbage is that none of them gave Mr. Golubev a power of attorney to interpret the gospel on their behalf (and I suspect that the other two billion Christians did not give him a power of attorney too), in connection with which I suggest Mr. Golubev temporarily slow down with Orthodox essay and concentrate on concentration exercises. In order not to confuse yourself with humanity, otherwise it is embarrassed.

The second garbage is that the preference of God to his own parents, attributed to Mr. Golubev to all Christians, is (according to my interlocutors, people extremely educated in this matter) incorrect and rudely torn from the context of one fragment of the Gospel of Matthew, which has nothing to do with the spirit of the Holy Scripture. This is the problem: for two thousand years, people gathered and continued to gather under the cross of rather diverse ideas about ethics, and everyone quotes and interprets, and depending on the interpretative of the face of Christ can mutate to completely cannibal condition.

On the last round, we all went through this with the example of Vladimir Ilyich, right? Either Ligachev quotes him, then a Korotich - and either Gorbachev should be shot, or Lenin’s order should be awarded, hell knows!

With Christ, the situation is new for us, but, of course, much more launched for reasons of a chronological nature, and there is more liking here - from Torquemad to the mother of Teresa. "Your voucher is your choice."

This is a problem. And it becomes difficult in connection with the circumstance of insurmountable strength, namely: the more educated a person, the naturally he is more modest (see Platonic circles). Therefore, dozens of educated Christians read books and think thoughts, and Christian Golubev writes at that time - on their behalf! - Self -consumed heresy and then publishes it with a huge circulation.

Moreover, the rustic Golubev is still a preferential option: after all, there are completely simple Christians! These take a banner and go to smash the exhibitions, beat people in the face of people ... From the whole god of this obscurantist silush - and the name of Christ, of course.

As stated in the old Estonian joke, it made no sense ...
